Stanley 10-486 Snap-blade Knife 8.5 in Tpe Handle 4 Blades

Product Description

The STANLEY 10-486 is a snap-blade utility knife designed for cutting tasks in trade and general maintenance applications. The knife features a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) handle measuring 8.375 inches in length, with an overall length of 8.5 inches. The snap-off blade style allows the user to break away a dull segment to expose a fresh cutting edge without changing the full blade. Four snap-off blades are included. The blade measures 5.5 inches in length and features 7 snap points per blade. This knife is suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need a reliable cutting tool on the job site.

The STANLEY 10-486 is appropriate for residential and commercial maintenance environments where controlled, precise cuts are needed on materials such as insulation, sheathing, tape, and packaging. The snap-off blade design makes it well suited to repetitive cutting work where blade sharpness must be maintained quickly without stopping for a full blade swap. The black and silver TPE handle provides a secure grip. Compatible replacement blades are the STANLEY 11-725.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Before use, ensure the blade lock mechanism is fully engaged to prevent unintended blade movement during cutting. Always retract or lock the blade when the knife is not in use and store it away from unsecured work surfaces. Blade snapping should be done with the blade pointed away from the body, using the snap point on the blade itself or a dedicated blade-snapping tool.
